Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2006;0(06):-
Objective To study the handicap of hearing and brain stem function in cerebral palsy children through determining their brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP).Methods BAEP were analyzed in 75 cases admissioned cerebral palsy children with MYTO type evoked potential equipment(made in Italy).Results The data showed that the abnormal BAEP rate was 72%(54/72),abnormity manifests as infaust differentiation of brainstem waves in diverse level,the latencies of wave Ⅰ,the interpeak latencies(IPLS) of wave Ⅰ~Ⅲ,Ⅲ~Ⅴ of BAEP in children with cerebral palsy were prolonged,the ratios of Ⅴ/Ⅰ wave amplitude was abnormal.Conclusion BAEP can be used to find out the changes of hearing handicap and brainstem function in children with cerebral palsy.

Along with contemporary development of life support technology in perinatology and neo-natal intensive care,mortality of preterm infants has been reduced.However,the problems caused by the brain damage have been attracting more and more attention.The long-term outcome of prematures depends on their nervous system sequelae among the total complications.Preterm infants'brain damage mainly includes intravent-ricular hemorrhage(IVH)and periventricular leukomalacia(PVL).IVH and its complications are the main causes of early death,mental and physical developmental disorder of neonatals.Thus,the early diagnosis of brain dam-age,especially PVL,has become a serious problem that we are going to face.The scholars in or aboard hao payed close attention to these markers,such as MBP、S100B、ACT A、NF-L、NGB、MMP、IL-6、IL-10、IL-1 1 、NSE.The paper reviews these biological markers.

This study examined the roles of HLA-G in the pathogenesis, development and immune tolerance of hemangioma. From 2000 to 2007, 52 paraffin-embedded specimens (26 from males and 26 from females) of skin capillary hemangioma and 7 samples of adjacent normal skin tissues were collected. Four fresh specimens of hemangioma were also harvested. All samples were HE-stained and proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was immunohistochemically detected by using SP method. The samples were classified into proliferative group and degenerative group according to the Mulliken criteria and the expression pattern of PCNA. SP method and quantum dots double staining were applied to detect the expression of HLA-G and PCNA in hemangioma and normal tissue samples. The expression of HLA-G was detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that among the 52 samples of hemangioma, 29 were of proliferative type and 23 degenerative type, and of the four fresh samples of hemangioma, 2 were of proliferative type and 2 degenerative type. SP method results showed that HLA-G was expressed in both proliferative and degenerative hemangioma, but not in normal tissues. The quantum dots double staining exhibited that HLA-G expression was significantly higher in proliferative group than in degenerative (P<0.05) and normal groups (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between the latter two groups (P>0.05). RT-PCR revealed that HLA-G was transcribed in both the proliferative and degenerative hemangioma tissues, but not in normal tissues. We are led to conclude that the elevated expression of HLA-G in proliferative hemangioma cells may lead to immune tolerance, which allows cells to escape immune surveillance and proliferate. On the other hand, the lower expression of HLA-G in degenerative hemangioma may result in immune cells-induced degeneration of hemangioma.

Objective Benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH) is one of common diseases in aged males , and searching for new therapeutic drugs to BPH has been a research hotspot in recent years .This article was to study the inhibitory effect of eupatorium ja-ponicum thunb and foeniculum vulgare extract ( EFE) on benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats and its possible mechanism . Methods 48 male rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal control group without any treatment , model group of BPH treated with subcu-taneous injection of testosterone propionate , positive control group of BPH treated with dutasteride , high, middle and low dosage groups according to different EFE dosage (156 mg/kg, 234 mg/kg and 312 mg/kg).45 days after the treatment, the rats were sacrificed for measurement of the prostate glandular wet weight , the index of prostate gland ( PI ) , the morphological changes of prostate gland by light microscopy and the content of sex hormone . Results The prostate wet weight and PI decreased after EFE treatment for 45 days compared with the BPH model group(P<0.01 ).The hyperplastic glandular epithelium papilla waned and even disappeared in three EFE groups under the light microscope , and the epithelial cells became cubical or flat .High dosage EFE group (312 mg/kg) has simi-lar efficacy to dutasteride group .EFE significantly reduced serum testosterone content , dihydrotestosterone content and T/E2 ratio( P<0.05 ). Conclusion EFE can significantly inhibit prostatic hyperplasia in rats , and its mechanism is related to the decrease of the contents of serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone as well as T/E2 ratio.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Ezrin and phos-ezrin in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC),and to an alyze their clinic significance.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of Ezrin and phos-Ezrin in 20 cases of normal skin,31 cases of seborrheic Keratosis (SK),36 cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC),and 37 cases of SCC.Results (1) The positive rates of Ezrin in normal skin (NS),SK,BCC,and SCC were 20.0%,25.8%,66.7%,and 89.2%,respectively.The positive reates of phos-Ezrin in NS,SK,BCC,and SCC were 10.0 %,22.6%,77.8%,and 94.6%,respectively.Ezrin and phos ezrin in cancers were higher than that in noncancer tissues (P < 0.01).(2) The expressions of Ezrin,and phos-Ezrin were closely correlated with the cutaneous tumor's type(R1 =0.87,r1 =0.89,P < 0.01),malignant degree (patho-grading of SCC) (R2 =0.80,r2=0.86,P < 0.01),metastasis via lymph node (R3 =0.89,r3 =0.91,P < 0.01).Conclusions Ezrin and phos-Ezrin expressions were closely related to the types of tumor,malignant degrees,and metastasis.The combined-detection of Ezrin and phos-ezrin would provide a novel clue to predicting metastasis and prognosis of cutaneous tumor.
